What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.

Can a dental anesthesia injection cause nerve damage? After receiving an injection in my gums I felt a sharp tingle going from the gum to my lower lip, and now sometimes I get a bit of itchiness and discomfort in my lower lip. What is it?

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".

Do very hot men ever feel attracted to an ugly woman? Why?

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.

Lightning arrestor is a spark-gap device, and can be installed anywhere. What is important, is that the wire is thick enough to withstand the lightning bolt and conduct the energy away from the building.

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).

There are two important concepts here.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Do all you people that took the "jab" feel lied to yet?

The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

What does a fuse do?

“ A surge suppressor is the one which is connected at the input supply so that when there is a sudden change voltage it bypasses thereby protecting the (circuit) and electronic components”

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

There is no harm in having the surge suppressor along with the fuse in the circuit. The fuse will not open up until the current melts the link. This will take time, and in the interim, that jolt will get transmitted into the power supplies.

So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

At the secondary, it is 1000 times less.)turns ratio). If it gets hit with a 100,000 volt bolt of lightning then the voltage arrestors conduct and clamp the voltage down to line voltage, ( but a small amount leaks down the line). This is the problem.

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Upvotes:

But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

This is 'the assistant's answer'

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.

These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.

This device then solves the entire problem.

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This is an electronic circuit designed to clamp voltages so that the Voltage Potential that appears at the outlet is never going to exceed the nominal value.

but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.

This is a high voltage low current spike that comes down the line because of the power poles being struck, and the voltage suppressors activating on the primary side of the transformer.

“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.

When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

Once the voltage goes over 0.0650 volts, then this fact can be used to amplify the difference, and turn the circuit breaker off , furthur down the line. Essentially that is what a RCD/GFCI does, it compares the incoming current, to the outgoing current, and if the difference between the two currents is over 5mA, then it trips the circuit breaker.

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
